A dialectical behavior therapy group for adults will start on a weekly basis on Thursday, January 10, 2018. The group sessions will be held from 2:30pm -4:00pm at DCI’s St. Marys Outpatient office, which is located at 808 South Michael Road, St. Marys.

Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) is an evidence-based practice to develop skills to improve emotional control, decision-making, relationships of all kinds, and reduce risky behaviors and thoughts such as self-injury, suicidal thoughts, and substance abuse. DBT skills are helpful for a number of problems, especially those associated with a past history of long-term trauma.

Participants must be engaged in individual therapy and remain in therapy throughout the entire time in order to continue work with personal issues.
